Sara and Kyle were still on the roof half an hour later that afternoon, sitting in silence. "Well this is fun," Kyle told her almost sarcastically, yet with a lighter tone as he stretched, yawned and laid back.

"Isn't it?" Sara asked, lying back next to him. Their heads rolled together, touching at their temples. "Look," she commented offhandedly, pointing up. "That cloud looks like a bird. A hawk, for you."

"And that cloud looks like an angel head with a halo, for you," Kyle said, blushing slightly, pointing up to a cloud.

"You really think I'm innocent?" she asked him airily.

"Should I not?" he asked, tilting his head slightly to watch her eyes through the lenses of his sunglasses. Sara smiled slightly, which ended up looking more like a smirk.

"That's not exactly what I was going for when I first met you, but it'll work if you like it," she responded.

Kyle inwardly chuckled at her antics, looking back up to the sky. "Sara, this may sound a little crazy, but I feel different around you," he whispered, watching the clouds pass through the sky, shadowing the sun at points.

"How so?" Sara asked, her breathing deep and even, matching Kyle's.

"I know I'm supposed to be the leader, and I'm supposed to stay strong and unaffected by anything, but…around you, I'm comfortable. I feel like I can let loose and really be myself. I don't need to be the leader to impress you. I just need to be me," he told her softly, turning his head to watch her reaction. She smiled and turned to face him, before lacing her fingers with his.

"And I don't want you to feel any other way."

Kyle smiled secretly, and then sighed a soft breath. There was a brief silence, not awkward, but pleasant, as they both continued to watch the slow-moving clouds. "So, tell me about yourself," Kyle started impulsively. "What are you into? What has your past been like?"

Kyle could almost feel Sara tense up beside him. He turned to see her profile, scared, shocked, and almost angry. "Sara?" he ventured timidly, watching her sit up and lean over onto her knees. He sat up and placed his hand delicately on her shoulder. Tears formed in her exuberant hazel eyes and she angrily swiped them away.

"I-I need to be alone," she whispered, her voice cracking as she stood up and started on a stride towards the rooftop door.

"Sara! Wait!" Kyle yelled, watching her form disappear through the door without another glance back. Kyle turned so he was sitting on the edge of the roof, his feet dangling over. "Great, Kyle. Just great."

He was sitting up there for a few minutes more, before the door reopened. His head whipped around, expecting to see Sara, but instead Clara came into his line of sight.

"Hey Clara," Kyle started softly. "What's up?"

"Nothing," she replied loosely, taking a seat next to him. "I was hoping to get away from Taku for a while."

"Why don't you like him?" Kyle asked, turning to face her, his sunglasses reflecting her sad demeanor.

"I-" Clara started, but she had no idea how to tell him. "He just-bugs me," she lied.

"Oh," Kyle responded, but he had an inkling that she wasn't telling the whole truth. "Clara, would you mind if I asked you something?" he questioned, looking back to the setting sun.

"Anything," she replied in a concerned voice. "What do you need?"

"I know you all have only known me for less than a week, but I expect you all to confide in me-to trust me," he started, looking back to her to watch her reaction. She seemed slightly confused. "I want to know about why Sara seemed so…distant…when I asked her about her past. Is there something I don't know?"

Clara seemed to stiffen as well, though she was the less emotional of the two. "We've just-we've made some mistakes in the past," Clara told him. "Look, I'm not really sure if I should be telling you this. I will one day, I promise, but just not now." Kyle nodded in understanding as he watched Clara slowly stand up and walk away.

And he vowed, no matter what it took, he would get Sara to confide in him and tell him what mistakes haunted her past.

"Taku!" Kimi yelled over the couch, flipping channels next to Danny. "Come watch Family Guy with me."

"Be right there," he told her, balancing a bowl of popcorn, three sodas, and a large bag of Skittles. "Lemme just-" But his voice was obscured by everything spilling onto the floor. "What the-?"

"Having problems?" Clara asked, sauntering into the living room after her talk with Kyle.

"Yes," Taku replied with a sigh. "Help me, will ya?"

Clara raised her hand, letting her eyes go black, before everything her hand was facing seemed to go back in time. Taku's movements were all done in reverse, as the popcorn, the skittles, and the sodas all returned to his hands.

"Cool," Taku breathed. "You can turn back time?"

"Well," Clara started hesitantly. "Only at short amounts of time at once. I put a lot of energy into using my magic, and turning back time has to be one of the most complicated bits of magic I've ever attempted. Turning time back about half an hour requires about a quarter of my energy, but I've never really attempted anything past five minutes. If I practice more, though, I should be able to step it up to an hour using a quarter of my energy."

The pair began walking towards the couch where Danny and Kimi were situated, huddled close whispering and giggling.

"Aw, it's so cute it makes me want to gag," Clara stated sarcastically, yet with a smile, as she plopped down next to Kimi. Taku laid everything on the table, then took a seat next to Clara and laid his arm across the back of the couch.

Kimi stuck her tongue out at her. "So…" Taku started. "How do you practice turning back time?"

Clara shrugged. "I focus my center on one thing, and I just turn back time on it. It's complicated, though. II have to make sure turning back the time here won't tear the fabric of time somewhere else."

"Oh," Taku replied, turning his attention to the screen, where Kimi had just started South Park.

"Going down to South Park, gonna-BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!" All of a sudden the screen turned red, two boxes with user and password on them.

Kyle ran into the living room, slightly out of breath, before running up to the computer and typing in his name and password. Sara, only moments later, came flying in.

"What's the trouble?" she asked breathlessly, coming up to the back of the couch.

"Some villain…calls himself Mr. Big…terrorizing the Park on the corner of Pine and Nutmeg," Kyle told them all. "Sara, uniforms if you don't mind," he requested, his sunglass-eyes meeting hers.

Sara focused her energy, closing her eyes, before opening them and letting them glow white. "Hicortax Nesberek Matin Nwar," she chanted, and they were all enveloped in a golden-white light before appearing in uniform.

"Titans, GO!" Kyle yelled, watching as they all ran out, save Sara. "You ok Sare?" he asked, becoming too lazy to pronounce both syllables in her name, after he had run up to her.

Sara gulped and nodded unconvincingly. "Come on, let's go," she told him, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the living room door.

The six arrived at the park downtown, where havoc was said to be wreaked. There was nothing suspicious in sight when they first arrived, but they knew looks could be deceiving.

"Wait up," Sara said timidly, holding out her hand to stop the others from moving onward. "Clara!" she called her sister over, her voice a hiss. Clara nodded imperceptibly and stood next to her sister, letting them join hands.

"Sakutia nekrarr litera," they both chanted, their bodies completely still, as thin wisps of golden-yellow light emerged from Sara and wisps of black light emerged from Clara. They formed into two silhouettes of their bodies, flying forward swiftly until they were out of sight.

Sara's body twitched four times while Clara's remained motionless. Soon enough, the silhouettes came back into sight and realigned with the appropriate body.

"You're going to want to see this," Sara started, voice trembling, as they ran in the direction from which they came, their team following.

"What's there?" Kyle asked, running alongside Clara.

"A huge man…fifty, sixty feet maybe….he keeps downsizing and then making himself bigger it's…creepy. Come on," Clara told them all, waving her hand in one direction. Suddenly, screams and deep malicious laughs pierced the air.

The Titans came into a small clearing, filled with benches, water fountains, a playground, a sandbox, and a swing set.

"You can never hope to defy the largest man the world has ever created," the man laughed in a gravelly voice, maliciously laughing again.

"Then again, Mr. Big, no one can hope to defeat the Teen Titans. Titans, GO!" Hawk yelled (damn, his remarks are cornier than Robin's). "MOONFIRE, GIMME A LIFT!"

Moonfire flew forward, having dropped Danny's hand, picking up Hawk's hand. Within moments she had launched him into Mr. Big's face, watching him pull out his exploding spheres and throw them in his face before latching onto his neck.

The large man was temporarily blinded, allowing Moonfire to shoot five starbolts at him, making him roar with fury and stumble back.

"NEKRATOR LORACRIX SINON SIOBHAN!" Clara and Sara yelled, pulling up a grayish barrier between them both, about as tall as the man. The twins let him fall back onto this shield, using all their might to keep it up for there were a few civilians behind it. Sara and Clara were strained, but kept the shield up, his extreme weight becoming a challenge.

Danny ran up and jumped, using air current to push his body up and into the man. He streamed small amounts of water from a nearby pond into the man, watching him blubber. The man roared and picked Danny off of him, tossing him behind his shoulder like a rag doll.

"DANNY!" Moonfire yelled, flying to him and catching him by the hand just moments before he hit the ground. "Are you ok?" she asked him, watching him nurse his head. He nodded.

"A little sore, but I'll be fine," he told her with a smile. Kimi sighed in relief and was about to kiss him but stopped herself.

"Sorry, Dan, but we can't let our enemies know we have something special. They'll use it against us. Come on," she whispered, taking his hand and flying him back to where the large man was now getting wrapped up by Taku.

"ARGH!" the man yelled, trying to thrash about. Instead, Taku only tightened his grip as the man's face began to turn red and he was forced to turn smaller if he wanted to breath. Taku merely shrunk with him, until the man was the size of a small child and couldn't grow any smaller, or larger.

"And that, you can tell your friends, assuming you have any, is how you just got whooped by the Teen Titans," Kyle sneered, arms defiantly crossed over his chest.

Oh yeah, that felt good.

The Titans went to a pizza place to get a celebratory pizza afterwards, after going to the tower to change into normal clothing. "To our second bust!" Kyle cried happily, raising his glass of Coke. The leader was clad in a pair of jeans and a baggy black shirt with his hawk symbol on it. ON his eyes were his trademark sunglasses.

"Here here!" Taku cried happily, clad in a black spandex shirt and a pair of cargo shorts.

"I agree!" Kimi stated wholeheartedly, raising her glass of Sierra Mist, standing up and smiling broadly. She was clad in a pair of jean shorts with a brown leather belt and a green and brown striped tee shirt.

"Me too!" Sara laughed, in a cargo skirt and a deep crimson long-sleeved collared shirt. "We did incredible today. Great last move, Taku!"

"It was nothing, Taku replied, from his position next to Danny. Kimi leaned over to Danny and ruffled his blonde locks

"You look so adorable," she whispered so no one but him could hear.

"Thanks," he replied. "You don't look half-bad yourself." He leaned in to kiss her but remembered that they were in public and all types of romantic publicity could be potentially dangerous.

Kimi smiled in response.

"So, anything you have to add Clara?" Kyle asked, sitting back down. "I haven't heard much from you."

"Yea, you've been quiet all day," Taku added thoughtfully, taking a swig of his water. "Anything you want to say?"

Clara shrugged. "If I wanna be quiet, I'll be quiet," she snapped at Taku. "But I must admit, we did good today." Clara daintily sipped at her iced tea.

Taku sighed in defeat and decided to leave her alone for a while. Maybe she still needed to cool off from last night. "Anyways…Sara, Clara, I liked the whole shield thing you had going on. I want you to work a little more on that during training tomorrow. Moonfire, I want you to try and work on strengthening your eyebeams tomorrow in training, because you've barely used them in battle and from what I've heard they're three times as powerful as your starbolts," Kyle noted, watching Clara, Sara, and Kimi nod dutifully.

A waitress walked up to their table and cleared her throat politely. "What can I get for y'all?" she asked pleasantly, pulling out a pad of paper, and pulling a pen from behind her ear.

"Let's see," Taku started. "A half sausage, half cheese medium pizza for Kyle and I," he told the waitress.

"A half mustard and half cheese pizza for Danny and I," Kimi told the waitress, trying not to feel odd for ordering such a combination.

"You're Starfire's daughter, aren't you?" the waitress asked with a smile. Kimi nodded happily. "She's the reason we added mustard-covered pizza to the menu."

"Ew, mustard pizza?" Sara asked, scrunching up her nose in disgust.

"It's so good, you have to try it," Kimi told her, nodding her head enthusiastically. Sara laughed.

"Ok, then a vegetarian pizza for Clara and I," Sara told the woman with a courteous smile.

"Of course. Your food should be ready in twenty minutes," the waitress told them. She then deposited her notebook into the pocket of her uniform and walked off.

"You're a vegetarian?" Kyle asked Sara.

"We both are," Sara told him, her finger pointing to the both of them. "Ever since our…mother…taught us the evils of eating meat." Sara hesitated when saying 'mother', then became slightly somber and quiet.

"Cool," Taku told them. "I'm not really vegetarian, but I tend to avoid meat, because I'm fond of animals and I think it's wrong to eat them."

Clara nodded in understanding. "Interesting," she murmured, before falling quiet like her counterpart.
